Song Beiyun

Chapter 492: March 3, Three Years

The Li family of Xixia has dominated the Northwest for more than 21 years. However, from the beginning of Li Sigong, the leader of the Tuoba party at the end of the Tang Dynasty, to the present, the Li family regime has been entrenched in that place for more than a hundred years.

In the words of Song Beiyun, the Li family is that parasite-like family. They surrendered to the Tang Dynasty, the Five Dynasties regimes and the Song Dynasty successively.He also made good friends with Tubo and Heijue, which can be said to have both ways.

If you want to say who cares about Xixia, no one cares about Xixia, a place where you search and sneak around, and you don't even take a shower.No one in Song Dynasty or Daliao Dynasty looked at him directly.

But in the past ten years, Xixia has fully interpreted an idiom, that is, keep a low profile.It took advantage of the melee between Song Liao, Song Jin, Jin Liao, Liao and Mongolia, and Song and Mongolia to develop a wave secretly.

Now it is said that there are 30 strong soldiers in the entire Western Xia Dynasty, and there are countless elite soldiers and good generals.

But based on Xixia's history of digging and stealing, they didn't dare to do it openly. They could only play some dirty tricks in private. First, they stole the Shaanxi land that should belong to the Liao Kingdom, and even the old capital Chang'an was taken by them. It was settled, and Luoyang was also included in the bag.

But this incident does not prove how strong they are, it is simply because Jin and Liao confronted each other at that time, and most of the troops of the Liao Kingdom were resisting the coveted Jin Kingdom.

Now the Liao Kingdom can't do anything to kill them, because the Golden Horde Khanate has sprung up suddenly, but the Jin Kingdom is still staring there. Compared with Xixia who is secretly doing things behind the scenes, these two behemoths are the serious troubles of the Liao Kingdom.

However, Song State has been struggling in the rear, and has been plagued by civil strife and disasters in recent years.No, he was targeted by Xi Xia, who specializes in picking heads.

They are really smart, knowing that although Da Song is not as strong as before, Da Song who is good at positional warfare and defensive warfare is definitely not a bone to chew, so they have been wooing the generals and officials of Da Song in private these years.

The first one to be corrupted was the governor of Jingzhou. This governor was originally supported by Emperor Taizong. During the Taizong Dynasty, he was appointed as a privy envoy, but after Emperor Baoqing ascended the throne, he could only become the governor of a state. , and there is a military-controlled Xiangyang above him who is pressing him down.

In his heart, he was dissatisfied and even more dissatisfied, and it was not surprising that he was corrupted by the Li family of Xixia, but now he was waiting for the day when everything was ready.

Xiao Song knew all these things. As the boss of Song's highest-level spy agency, if this kind of thing could not be found out, he might as well go home as soon as possible and concentrate on raising the children.

But if you know it, you know it. The intelligence agency pays attention to a ruthless, judging the situation.Before there is no evidence that can directly kill this person, if you can stand still, you can stand still.After all, up to now, Xixia is still a nominal vassal state of the Great Song Dynasty, and its status is similar to that of Annan. Moreover, regarding the actions of the governor of Jingzhou, he is still able to escape. Even Song Beiyun has no way to slap him to death legally.

Be reasonable, everything must be reasonable.Some high-level people in the Imperial City Department advocated directly assassinating the governor of Jingzhou or the current king of Xixia, but all proposals for assassination and kidnapping were rejected by Song Beiyun. , that can be said to be a complete failure.

Because assassination would be a bad start. The intelligence community has its own rules and regulations. After the Warring States period, it is no longer popular to play assassins, because this kind of thing is easy to reveal, and everyone has their own king. They all have their own relatives, and the underground front is cruel and cruel, but everyone still silently abides by some unwritten unspoken rules.

Of course, except for traitors, if one day the Liao Kingdom defected to the Song Dynasty or the whole family of the people who defected to the Liao Kingdom from the Song Dynasty died suddenly, the intelligence agencies of the two countries would basically just fool around and pass.Traitors, those who have no human rights, no matter what country the traitors are from, death is not a pity.

And Xiao Song believes that it is best to force Jingzhou and Xixia as soon as possible, because Da Song needs a brilliant victory to prove himself.Successive years of defeat have softened Song's bones. A war can not only increase domestic demand but also boost morale.

A country and a nation need heroes. The old generation of heroes is slowly weathering over time, but the new generation of heroes has not yet been created. This is a very bad thing, so Song Dynasty needs a low-intensity local war. Use war to prove your combat effectiveness, so that the people have confidence and the court has morale.

So who is the best place to start this battle?Naturally it is Xixia.After all, it is really impossible to fight against Liao... But if it is against Xixia, Xiao Song and Lord Fu have carefully studied the combat effectiveness of Xixia, and Lord Fu used three words to describe it, that is "stinky shit".

Are the Xixia cavalry tough?In fact, they are naturally tough, but they are different from the grassland cavalry. The grassland people are tough, unyielding, and have an extremely strong will to fight. They are opponents that no commander can bear to belittle.

But the Xixia people are different. Some people may not like to hear it, but the Xixia soldiers have no merits except brutality. The individual combat power can barely fight with the Liao cavalry, but the fighting will, training, organization and The sense of collective honor is not a level thing at all.

If the cavalry charge between the Liao Kingdom and the Golden Horde is two red-eyed giant wolves fighting for their lives, then Xixia is a jackal that will retreat with its tail between its legs after a single hit, insidious but ruthless. Prestige.

As long as they are defeated once on the frontal battlefield, it will be difficult for them to organize a second round of charge. This is Xixia.

So Xiao Song thinks that this Western Xia is a good place for Song Liwei, and let it escape for a while, then don't say it is unexpected, and kill Xingqing Mansion in a wave and then besiege the city for three days before withdrawing.

As for why not directly fight it down, it's not impossible...but it's really not necessary for the time being. The Song Dynasty can't support that barren land for the time being, and once Xixia is defeated, the Song Dynasty will face the grasslands, Heijue, and Tubo. On the contrary, the Liao Kingdom was free to flex its muscles.

So the plan has already been made, and now we are waiting for the other side to move. They must do it first, otherwise there will be internal disputes between the main fighting faction and the peace faction, and the people will also complain.

So even Xiao Song investigated them thoroughly, but still acted like he didn't know anything, waiting for the fish to take the bait.

As far as Lord Fu's comments in Zhao Xingna were concerned, Xiao Song's evaluation was that "there is no other conspirator in the world". Zhao Xing naturally readily agreed to the plan made by such a person.

Xiao Song, who got up early, yawned, and Biluo was still sleeping with his waist in his arms. Although it was late yesterday, the abominable biological clock made him open his eyes early.

"Damn it..." Xiao Song rubbed his face: "If you don't sleep for four hours a day, you will be bald sooner or later."

And at this moment, Xiaoyu appeared in the window again, he blinked and looked at Xiao Song, and Xiao Song also looked at him.

"It's definitely not good for you to find me early in the morning."

"The officials asked me to inform Mr. Song that you can take care of it by yourself today. He has no time to accompany you. He is going to comfort the farmers."

Xiao Song turned over, rubbed Biluo's hair, and yawned again: "Got it...you don't have to come early in the morning for this little thing."

"The official also said that I want you to arrange a better painting boat at night."

Xiao Song coughed and sat up: "Is he going to sneak out again?"

"The officials said...he came here to play. If he is not allowed to play, how is it different from Jinling? They also said..." Xiaoyu hesitated, wondering if he should say the following words .

"What? You just say it."

"The officials also said that Song Beiyun is proficient in eating, drinking, whoring and gambling. If he refuses to take me to play, I will send him to Qiongzhou as the governor."

"This dog!" Song Beiyun yelled, "This purebred dog emperor!"

Xiaoyu covered her ears: "Xiaoyu didn't hear anything...Master Song, Xiaoyu is leaving."

After the person left, Xiao Song collapsed on the bed. His shout had already awakened Bi Luo next to him. After Xiao Yu left, she slowly leaned into Song Beiyun's arms and whispered, "Master Song, don't If you care, Biluo will help you arrange these things."

Xiao Song sighed: "If something happens to that dog emperor, we will all be finished."

Biluo rubbed against Xiao Song's chest lightly: "In the three-acre land in Hangzhou, Biluo still keeps his word."

"Okay, let's sleep for a while, or you will die suddenly." Xiao Song lamented: "It's really troublesome..."

"Then Biluo, go prepare some food for the adults."

"Then get ready, I'll sleep for a while."

At the same time, Zhao Xing was sitting in the garden, sipping tea and listening to the work report of the governor of Hangzhou. He listened and his mind was already drifting away. Everyone said that the girl from Hangzhou was as gentle as water, but he could only face her The dry old man in front of him.

Zhao Xing felt that he was suffering... Thinking that Song Dog could have a gentle place here, he was even more angry.

"Bastard!"

This scolding shocked the governor who was reporting to the work opposite him, and he stood up and said in a trembling voice respectfully: "The government, it's not that the minister is disadvantaged, but the tax revenue in Hangzhou has dropped by [-]% since last month..."

"Thirty percent less?" Zhao Xing finally regained his composure, and said seriously, "Why is it thirty percent less?"

"The minister is still investigating this matter. It seems that many industries have stopped overnight and are no longer operating. Or they are sold to others. In short, Hangzhou is really a bit unbearable for a while."

"Thirty percent? The property of a city has decreased by thirty percent?" Zhao Xing frowned: "Interesting."

Studying in Qinglongyuan is not without fruit, at least Zhao Xing has learned a lot from Xiao Song, such as this simple economics, he understands what the concept of a sharp drop of [-]% is, this is by no means a natural law but Someone is selling assets.

Who is playing this hand?

Chapter 493: On March 3, Three Years

Lin'an's painting boats are actually no better than Jinling's, but they are better than the freshness. The gentleness in Wu Nong's soft words is not comparable to the taste of beheading a duck in Jinling City.

Zhao Xing leaned against the window of the painting boat, watching the fresh rain on the West Lake outside the window, sending out a few branches with a bit of spring chill.

The girl next to him gently poured Zhao Xing a cup, and the oiran in front of him played and sang softly. The little song with an incomprehensible accent was in the slightly drunk Zhao Xing's ears, as if it had been a lifetime away.

Xiao Song next to her didn't call her a girl, and even Biluo, who poured wine in men's clothes, served the whole time, with one foot on the crosspiece in front of the table and one hand around Biluo's waist, she also drank six drinks. Slightly drunk.

"Is this your Bi Luo?"

Zhao Xing pointed at Biluo with his fan: "Yes, he looks like a shrewd person."

Biluo panicked, stood up quickly and saluted: "Thank you for your compliment, young master."

"Hey! You don't need so much etiquette outside." Zhao Xing spread out his fan and took a sip of wine, then waved his hand to make all the girls around him disperse.

When there were only three people left in the cabin, Zhao Xing stretched his waist and looked at Biluo: "I heard that you have done some things since you turned from darkness to light."

When Biluo heard this, she turned her head and glanced at Song Beiyun, then quickly bowed and said, "It's only natural that I have received the great grace of the emperor."

"Hey, don't play with such a fool." Zhao Xing waved his fan: "I have long heard that there are two generals under Gou Dongxi, one is easy to hide from Bai Nian'an with an open spear, and the other is hard to defend against Song Biluo with a dark arrow. I won't ask why your surname is Song, anyway, I have heard about you, and when the time is right, I will give you a good arrangement."

Bi Luo hurriedly crawled on the ground, shouting Long Live, thanking the Lord for his kindness.

Zhao Xing was happy, and took a small jade pendant from his waist and handed it forward: "This is my little reward, as long as you follow this bastard and work hard, I won't treat you badly in the future."

Biluo took the jade pendant tremblingly, she looked at Song Beiyun nervously, what kind of identity is she, in fact, she knows best herself, she is someone else's concubine, not even a lover, now not only has the opportunity to look up at the sky , and even get the treasure bestowed by the emperor, what a privilege it is for her.

"Take it away." Xiao Song said in a low voice: "The official has taken care of you, and you have to do your best in the future."

"Bi Luo will definitely act as a death force..."

Sitting back to her original position, Biluo's body was still trembling with excitement, she was holding Song Beiyun's hand tightly, this was obviously not from a show, but was really hard to control.Not to mention that she, who is not worthy of having a surname, was given the surname Song. Just being rewarded by the emperor himself was something she had never even dared to think about.

"Today, I heard from the governor of Hangzhou." Zhao Xing took a sip from his wine glass and loosened his cuffs: "The business tax in Hangzhou has dropped by [-]% in the past two months."

"Someone is withdrawing capital, I know." Xiao Song leaned there, and played with Biluo's tender hand in the palm of his hand: "If you want to track it down, you can't do it, but are you sure you want to look it up? If you follow along, maybe There's going to be trouble."

"Thirty percent of the revenue of the entire Hangzhou, this is an astronomical figure! You let me just let it go like this?"

"Normal." Xiao Song lightly picked Biluo's nail polish, rolled his eyes a few times: "Hangzhou's basic market is in Hangzhou, and it's normal to withdraw all shares now. In fact, it's not impossible to curb the withdrawal. You increase the tax on real estate transactions, the real estate increases to [-]%, and the real estate increases to [-]%. The fixed asset transaction taxes are all doubled, the shops are increased from [-]% to [-]%, and the building materials are increased from [-]% to [-]%. They If you leave, you will leave, we will not be forced to death, but it is impossible to extract wool from us."

Zhao Xing frowned and said, "Isn't that an exorbitant tax?"

"How can this be considered exorbitant taxes? Biluo."

"In..." Biluo raised her small face, "Master Song."

"Tell him, is this considered exorbitant taxes?"

After thinking about it for a while, Biluo shook her head lightly, and said in a low voice: "Officials, this kind of tax has no effect on the common people, only those speculative merchants will feel the pain. They may incite trouble, but the official Rest assured, if someone makes trouble, Biluo will find a way to deal with them."

Zhao Xing raised his head: "If that's the case, shouldn't it be fast?"

"Don't worry, according to the laws of the Song Dynasty, real estate transactions require three months of custody from the government. Now these house deeds and land deeds are still in custody by the government."

"You bastard!" Zhao Xing pointed at Biluo: "Did you make a plan long ago? Take advantage of this gap and use my money to buy a house, Jinwu Zangjiao?"

Biluo looked at Song Beiyun in astonishment, but Xiao Song smiled and hugged her in his arms, raised a wine glass and fed her a sip of sweet water and wine, and said unhurriedly: "I only spent two days on that house. It’s all about Wan Guan. If someone is in a hurry to make a move, why not take advantage of the bargain? But don’t worry, I’ve also prepared a set of villas for you, a mansion with 17 acres of land, which only costs [-] Guan.”

"You asked me for 20 guan."

"The agency fee is [-] guan, is there a problem?"

In fact, Biluo's heart was about to jump out. She didn't know why Song Beiyun dared to talk to the top executor of Song Dynasty like this. If he was drunk...it wouldn't be so. Both of them seemed very sober.

But didn't Mr. Song know that he would be killed if he talked about corruption so blatantly in front of the officials?

"Dog, you are corrupt!"

"What's not corrupt?" Xiao Song spat: "Originally your plan was to build a house of about ten acres here, and the market price is between 20 and 17 yuan. Now your house is [-] acres , only spent [-] yuan. This means that the task was overfulfilled, and you plan to recycle the rest of the money?"

"Then you are robbing it outright? Seventeen mu is 17, ten thousand and eleven mu... This Hangzhou is worth every inch of land."

Xiao Song laughed: "They begged me to buy it."

Zhao Xing didn't know how this fellow would operate, but since he had settled the matter anyway, he didn't have much to say as an emperor. As for the [-] to [-] yuan, this bastard doesn't lack the money, so he can do whatever he wants .

"Come on, let me ask you." Xiao Song pointed at Zhao Xing with his chopsticks: "What have you learned from this incident?"

Zhao Xing was taken aback: "Learn what?"

"You are really a fool."

As soon as these words came out, Biluo was sweating anxiously. She tightly held Xiao Song's hand to signal him not to say any more, but Xiao Song said indifferently: "You must show a certain amount of respect when you do things in the future." Space is good for people to get some money, otherwise things will definitely not be done well, this is human nature."

"You are a brave dog, you have fished oil and water on my head."

"Remember the Hunjun Benji in the newspaper. Do you remember the story about the egg?"

The Chronicle of the Faint King is a long warning article serialized in the official newspaper, which describes the daily life of a foolish king in a country that does not exist. Take this as a warning and always be vigilant.There is a story in it that said that the emperor ate eggs, and the people under his command told him that the eggs cost forty pennies each, but he believed it to be true, because he really thought eggs were so expensive.After the alien race invaded, the Hunjun fled in a hurry and fled elsewhere. He was hungry, so he asked the shopkeeper to prepare some food. When he paid for it, he found that a bowl of noodles with eggs only cost ten dollars, so the Hunjun asked in surprise. Why is the store so cheap.

"Hahahahahaha..." Zhao Xing laughed loudly: "Remember, eggs are only five cents a piece. Zhao Xiang personally took this article to the court to read it and listen to it. It was interesting to hear it at first. But savoring it carefully is like enlightenment. You can make up such a story about how your dog's brain grows."

Xiao Song smiled and said nothing, because this story is not fabricated...

After laughing, Zhao Xing suddenly let out a long sigh: "It's not easy to be a king, but it's even more difficult to be a wise king."

"Yeah." Xiao Song nodded, "You have to know clearly, but you have to be deaf, dumb, or a writer. You are still immature at this level, and you still need to hone your skills."

Zhao Xing turned his head and glanced at the shocked Biluo, silently shook his head and hooked his hand towards Song Beiyun. Xiao Song followed her ear, and Zhao Xing asked in a low voice, "If she has one, what would you do with it?"

Xiao Song turned his head and glanced at Bi Luo, sat back down, squeezed her face and said, "If that's the case, then give birth as soon as you are born, I am a very emotional person, and I wouldn't say that I did it for the sake of fame." Some things that are not as good as poultry, besides, what name do I have. But the name may not be given."

Biluo clasped Song Beiyun's hand with both hands, and gave him a grateful look, while Xiao Song continued, "It's you, you can play outside, but don't leave the seed among the people, it's not called the dragon seed, it's called the evil seed." , something will happen.”

Zhao Xing nodded lightly, took a sip of wine and changed the subject: "Just collect taxes for real estate?"

"Yes, taxation. Of course, no taxation is also possible, but it can be disposed of at the price of renovating the old house."

"Then... what's the price?"

"Add the lowest and highest prices in a state in that day, and then divide it into two to get the average. Then use the average price to depreciate by [-]%." Xiao Song laughed: "Then you don't have to pay taxes, What I'm talking about is not the total price, but the total price divided by the size to calculate the high and low, and let him chop it up."

Zhao Xing thought for a while: "You...you are so vicious! How can there be such a vicious thing under my hands? If you were in the Three Kingdoms, you might be able to kill that Zhuge."

Xiao Song laughed loudly, and Biluo looked at Song Beiyun in astonishment after thinking for a moment. This kind of scheme is extremely vicious. It can be said that from now on, the houses in Hangzhou will no longer be able to be bought or sold, and the houses will become more and more expensive. The more valuable it is, but because no one dares to buy or sell it, there is no market for it.
